Trump's Open Alliance with Russia Reshapes Ukraine and Europe

President Trump has openly aligned himself with Russia, marking a dramatic shift in US foreign policy with major consequences for Ukraine and Europe. His administration has delayed weapons deliveries and restricted Ukraine's access to the Starshield satellite network. Trump has lifted sanctions against Russia and brokered a diesel deal benefiting the Kremlin, while blaming Ukraine for the ongoing war. He has also expressed willingness to hold a three-way summit with Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, drawing comparisons to the 1945 Yalta Conference. Ukraine now faces a coalition of four nuclear powers, including Russia, China, North Korea, and the US as a biased mediator. European allies lack the strength to counter this shift, while Ukrainian President Zelensky has called Putin "a murderer" and rejected pressure to negotiate.
